Ugh, I've been using right-click > copy image address pretty habitually everywhere else. Guess I gotta get in the habit of doing it with google images now too. Idiotic change, isn't bureaucracy great.

"The goals of the advertising business model do not always correspond to providing quality search to users." Google for that exact phrase and see who made that observation.
Users are the goods, not the clients, of Google. Remember: if you get a service for free, then you are the merchandise.

I binged it, and it took me to this zdnet article: http://www.zdnet.com/article/google-advertising-and-search-e... So the author of that observation is Sergey Brin himself. Lel.
That's the first time I've ever heard somebody use "bing" as a verb, outside of a Microsoft ad. (Assuming that your post isn't a new form of Microsoft ad, that is.)
Comments such as "yesterday I banged Scarlett Johansson" would be hilarious.
[OK OK, -1 me, I deserve it ;)]

I try not to overuse the reference, but "Anatomy of a Search Engine" [1] is so deliciously prescient and ironic that it's hard to avoid. It's funny how hard Sergey and Larry shifted once personal fortunes changed their motivation. [1] http://infolab.stanford.edu/~backrub/google.html
"For example, a search engine could add a small factor to search results from "friendly" companies, and subtract a factor from results from competitors" That's basically what Google got sued for in the EU and they lost. The friendly companies were other Google properties.
Quotes from @searchliaison: "Today we're launching some changes on Google Images to help connect users and useful websites." "Ultimately, Google Images is a way for people to discover information in cases where browsing images is a better experience than text." Do you believe any of these statements? I am still surprised how easily corporations will hide their true motives, resolve any cognitive dissonance internally…
>For those asking, yes, these changes came about in part due to our settlement with Getty Images this week (see also https://www.theverge.com/2018/2/15/17017864/google-removes-v... …). They are designed to strike a balance between serving user needs and publisher concerns, both stakeholders we value.
Chrome Extension "Straight to Full-Size for Google Images"
DuckDuckGo still has this feature in their Images search, using the "View File" button. It also doesn't wrap the URL of search results in a Google redirect URL, so you can Right Click > Copy to get the actual URL of the webpage or image.
Guess what, I think yandex.com still has it too.
